i was a huge WWF fan in the late eighties and early ninties and bret hart was my favourite from the beginning. i stopped watching wrestling in 1995 as i grew out of it and recently decided to re-kindle my youth and firstly needed to find out what happended to my favourite. i'd heard rumours that bret was double-crossed but when i watched this i was left furious that he could be treated like that by Vince who had basically hung him out to dry and destroyed his reputation in the process. the dvd is very heartfelt and gives you a brilliant insight into brets life, growing up with a legend of a father and growing in the WWF. it also shows his home life and that he appears to have a supportive wife who later divorced him after the survivor series incident, but does show what a great dad he is and how his family mean a lot. the dvd covers the tension leading up to that fateful servivor series and how bret was not feeling happy, you can feel his emotion, and then feel his anger once the double cross has happened and i'm so pleased he punched vince, which was the least he deserved. all in all a great dvd, its just a shame it had to end on such a bitter note.

I am not a Bret Hart fan, but I must admit I found this DVD one of the best wrestling films I have seen. It is biographical which is first class as it shows the man as he is and is simply not the usual "best matches" sort of stuff. He came across as a wonderful father with a most supportive wife, who sadly divorced him in spite of his attempts at reconcilliation.
A question I am frequently asked is about the Montreal screw-job. I straight away after this DVD went on to read Shawn Michael's book and I recommend that viewers of this DVD do likewise and make their own mind's up.
Most enjoyable - don't be afraid to get it - you will not be disappointed.

This is a very insightful and interesting look into the truth behind professional wrestling. Taking a look at one of the best wrestlers in history, the documentary follows Bret Hart through the last year of his WWE contract, showing how the hitman character changed from the number 1 babyface (good guy) to number 1 heel (bad guy), only to be left in limbo by Vince McMahon, resulting in the parting of ways. However, as you will discover, this parting did not go through without the most controversial action ever seen in professional wrestling. This is a must buy for anyone who has always wanted to know what really happened that night in at Survivor series '97.
